    NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION (Amounts in Thousands, Except per Share Data, Number of Shares

    and When Otherwise Stated)

    1. Reporting Entity

    Pepsi-Cola Products Philippines, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated as a stock corporation in the Philippines on March 8, 1989 with a corporate life of 50 years, primarily to engage in manufacturing, sales and distribution at wholesale and (to the extent allowed by law) retail of carbonated soft-drinks (CSD), non-carbonated beverages (NCB), food and food products, snacks and confectionery products to retail, wholesale, restaurants and bar trades. The registered office address and principal place of business of the Company is at Km. 29, National Road, Tunasan, Muntinlupa City. The Company is listed in the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) and has been included in the PSE composite index since February 1, 2008. Lotte Corporation, with a 40.85% stake in the Company, is the largest shareholder of the Company. Quaker Global Investments B.V. is the other major shareholder with a 25.00% stake. Lotte Corporation was organized under the laws of South Korea. Quaker Global Investments B.V. was organized under the laws of the Netherlands.

    2. Basis of Preparation

    Statement of Compliance These condensed interim financial information have been prepared in accordance with Philippine Accounting Standard (PAS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting. These condensed interim financial information do not include all of the information required for a complete set of financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements of the Company as at December 31, 2017. Basis of Measurement These condensed interim financial information have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the net defined benefit liability (included as part of “Other noncurrent liabilities” account in the condensed interim statements of financial position) which is measured at the present value of the defined benefit obligation less fair value of plan assets. Functional and Presentation Currency These condensed interim financial information are presented in Philippine peso, which is the Company’s functional currency. All amounts have been rounded-off to the nearest thousands, except per share data and when otherwise indicated. Use of Judgments and Estimates The preparation of the condensed interim financial information requires management to make judgments, estimates and use assumptions that affect the application of the Company’s accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

  • - 2 -

    The significant judgments and estimates made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that were applied to the annual financial statements. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, management reassessed its estimates in respect of the following: Estimating Allowance for Impairment Losses on Receivables As at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, allowance for impairment losses on receivables amounted to P195.5 million and P215.0 million, respectively. Estimating Net Realizable Value of Inventories As at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, inventories amounted to P3.084 billion and P2.484 billion, respectively.

    3. Significant Accounting Policies

    The significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the condensed interim financial information are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the annual financial statements. Changes in Accounting Policies The following amendments to standards are effective for the three-month period ended March 31, 2018, and have been applied in preparing these condensed interim financial information. The adoption of these amendments to standards did not have any significant impact on the Company’s condensed interim financial information: PFRS 9, Financial Instruments (2014). PFRS 9 (2014) replaces PAS 39,

    Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, and supersedes the previously published versions of PFRS 9 that introduced new classifications and measurement requirements (in 2009 and 2010) and a new hedge accounting model (in 2013). PFRS 9 includes revised guidance on the classification and measurement of financial assets, including a new expected credit loss (ECL) model for calculating impairment, guidance on own credit risk on financial liabilities measured at fair value and supplements the new general hedge accounting requirements published in 2013. PFRS 9 incorporates new hedge accounting requirements that represent a major overhaul of hedge accounting and introduces significant improvements by aligning the accounting more closely with risk management. Impairment of Financial Assets. Under the new impairment model based on ECL, impairment losses resulting either from (1) possible default events within the twelve (12) months after the reporting date; or (2) all possible default events over the expected life of financial assets, are recognized on initial recognition, and at each subsequent reporting period, even in the absence of a credit event or if the loss has not yet been incurred, considering for their measurement past events and current conditions, as well as reasonable and supportable forecasts affecting collectability.

  • - 3 -

    Classification and Measurement. PFRS 9 changes the classification categories for financial assets and replaces them with categories that reflect the measurement method, the contractual cash flow characteristics and the entity's business model for managing the financial asset: 1) amortized cost; 2) fair value through other comprehensive income; and 3) fair value through profit or loss.

    PFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, replaces PAS 11 Construction Contracts, PAS 18 Revenue, IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes, IFRIC 18, Transfer of Assets from Customers, and SIC-31, Revenue - Barter Transactions Involving Advertising Services. The new standard introduces a new revenue recognition model for contracts with customers which specifies that revenue should be recognized when (or as) a company transfers control of goods or services to a customer at the amount to which the company expects to be entitled. Depending on whether certain criteria are met, revenue is recognized over time, in a manner that best reflects the company’s performance, or at a point in time, when control of the goods or services is transferred to the customer. The standard does not apply to insurance contracts, financial instruments or lease contracts, which fall in the scope of other PFRSs. It also does not apply if two companies in the same line of business exchange non-monetary assets to facilitate sales to other parties. Furthermore, if a contract with a customer is partly in the scope of another PFRS, then the guidance on separation and measurement contained in the other PFRS takes precedence. Timing of Revenue Recognition. PFRS 15 changes the timing of revenue recognition from risk and reward model to control based model. Transfer of the control over the goods coincides with its delivery and acceptance by the customer. Variable Consideration. Variable considerations such as discounts and allowances are deducted from the transaction price. Listing and Slotting Fees/ Display Allowances. Under PFRS 15, payments to distributors and retailers are recognized as a reduction of revenue unless a distinct goods or service has been received. If a distinct goods or service has been received, then it will be recognized as an expense. The Company has assessed that it does not receive any distinct goods or service in exchange for its payments to customers including but not limited to listing and slotting fees/display allowances.

    Philippine Interpretation IFRIC-22, Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Consideration. The amendments clarifies that the transaction date to be used for translation for foreign currency transactions involving an advance payment or receipt is the date on which the entity initially recognizes the prepayment or deferred income arising from the advance consideration. For transactions involving multiple payments or receipts, each payment or receipt gives rise to a separate transaction date. The interpretation applies when an entity pays or receives consideration in a foreign currency and recognizes a non-monetary asset or liability before recognizing the related item.

  • - 4 -

    Annual Improvements to PFRSs 2014 - 2016 Cycle. This cycle of improvements contains amendments to three standards. The following are the said improvements or amendments to PFRSs effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, none of which has a significant effect on the condensed interim financial information of the Company :

    Measuring an associate or joint venture at fair value (Amendments to PAS 28, Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures). The amendments provide that a venture capital organization, or other qualifying entity, may elect to measure its investments in an associate or joint venture at fair value through profit or loss. This election can be made on an investment-by-investment basis. The amendments also provide that a non-investment entity investor may elect to retain the fair value accounting applied by an investment entity associate or investment entity joint venture to its subsidiaries. This election can be made separately for each investment entity associate or joint venture. The amendments are applied retrospectively, with early application permitted.

    New Standards and Amendments to Standards Not Yet Adopted The new standards and amendments to standards discussed below is effective for annual periods beginning after January 1, 2018, and have not been applied in preparing these condensed interim financial information.

    Effective January 1, 2019 PFRS 16, Leases, supersedes PAS 17, Leases, and the related Philippine

    Interpretations. The new standard introduces a single lease accounting model for lessees under which all major leases are recognized on-balance sheet, removing the lease classification test. Lease accounting for lessors essentially remains unchanged except for a number of details including the application of the new lease definition, new sale-and-leaseback guidance, new sub-lease guidance and new disclosure requirements. Practical expedients and targeted reliefs were introduced including an optional lessee exemption for short-term leases (leases with a term of 12 months or less) and low-value items, as well as the permission of portfolio-level accounting instead of applying the requirements to individual leases. New estimates and judgmental thresholds that affect the identification, classification and measurement of lease transactions, as well as requirements to reassess certain key estimates and judgments at each reporting date were introduced. PFRS 16 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. Earlier application is permitted for entities that apply PFRS 15 at or before the date of initial application of PFRS 16. The Company is currently on the initial assessment of the potential impact of the new standard. The actual impact of applying PFRS 16 on the financial statements in the period of initial application will depend on future economic conditions, including the Company’s borrowing rate at January 1, 2019, the composition of the Company’s lease portfolio at that date, the Company’s latest assessment of whether it will exercise any lease renewal options and the extent to which the Company chooses to use practical expedients and recognition exemptions.

  • - 5 -

    So far, the most significant impact identified is that the Company will recognize right-of-use (ROU) assets and liabilities for its operating leases of land, warehouse and facilities. In addition, the nature of expenses related to those leases will now change as PFRS 16 replaces the straight-line operating lease expense with depreciation charge for the ROU assets and interest expense on lease liabilities. No significant impact is expected on the Company’s finance leases. The Company does not expect the adoption of PFRS 16 to impact its ability to comply with its loan covenants.

    Philippine Interpretation IFRIC-23, Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments, clarifies how to apply the recognition and measurement requirements in PAS 12 Income Taxes when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. Under the interpretation, whether the amounts recorded in the financial statements will differ to that in the tax return, and whether the uncertainty is disclosed or reflected in the measurement, depends on whether it is probable that the tax authority will accept the Company’s chosen tax treatment. If it is not probable that the tax authority will accept the Company’s chosen tax treatment, the uncertainty is reflected using the measure that provides the better prediction of the resolution of the uncertainty - either the most likely amount or the expected value. The interpretation also requires the reassessment of judgements and estimates applied if facts and circumstances change - e.g. as a result of examination or action by tax authorities, following changes in tax rules or when a tax authority’s right to challenge a treatment expires. The interpretation is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. Earlier application is permitted. The interpretation was approved by the FRSC on July 12, 2017 but is still subject to the approval by the BOA.

    Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation (Amendments to PFRS 9). The amendments cover the following areas:

    Prepayment features with negative compensation. The amendment clarifies that a financial asset with a prepayment feature could be eligible for measurement at amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive income irrespective of the event or circumstance that causes the early termination of the contract, which may be within or beyond the control of the parties, and a party may either pay or receive reasonable compensation for that early termination. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019 with early adoption permitted. Retrospective application is required, subject to relevant transitional reliefs.

    Modification of financial liabilities. The amendment to the Basis for Conclusions on PFRS 9 clarifies that the standard provide an adequate basis for an entity to account for modifications and exchanges of financial liabilities that do not result in derecognition and the treatment is consistent with the requirements for adjusting the gross carrying amount of a financial asset when a modification does not result in the derecognition of the financial asset - i.e. the amortized cost of the modified financial liability is recalculated by discounting the modified contractual cash flows using the original effective interest rate and any adjustment is recognized in profit or loss.

  • - 6 -

    If the initial application of PFRS 9 results in a change in accounting policy for these modifications or exchanges, then retrospective application is required, subject to relevant transition reliefs.

    The amendments were approved by the FRSC on November 8, 2017 but is still subject to the approval by the BOA.

    Long-term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures (Amendments to PAS 28, Investment in Associates and Joint Ventures). The amendment requires the application of PFRS 9 to other financial instruments in an associate or joint venture to which the equity method is not applied. These include long-term interests (LTIs) that, in substance, form part of the entity's net investment in an associate or joint venture. The amendment explains the annual sequence in which PFRS 9 and PFRS 28 are to be applied. In effect, PFRS 9 is first applied ignoring any prior years’ PAS 28 loss absorption. If necessary, prior years’ PAS 28 loss allocation is trued-up in the current year which may involve recognizing more prior years’ losses, reversing these losses or re-allocating them between different LTI instruments. Any current year PAS 28 losses are allocated to the extent that the remaining LTI balance allows and any current year PAS 28 profits reverse any unrecognized prior years’ losses and then allocations against LTI. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019 with early adoption permitted. Retrospective application is required, subject to relevant transitional reliefs. The amendments were approved by the FRSC on November 8, 2017 but is still subject to the approval by the BOA.

    Deferral of the local implementation of Amendments to PFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements and PAS 28: Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture

    Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture (Amendments to PFRS 10 and PAS 28). The amendments address an inconsistency between the requirements in PFRS 10 and in PAS 28, in dealing with the sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture. The amendments require that a full gain or loss is recognized when a transaction involves a business (whether it is housed in a subsidiary or not). A partial gain or loss is recognized when a transaction involves assets that do not constitute a business, even if these assets are housed in a subsidiary.

    Originally, the amendments apply prospectively for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016 with early adoption permitted. However, on January 13, 2016, the FRSC decided to postpone the effective date of these amendments until the IASB has completed its broader review of the research project on equity accounting that may result in the simplification of accounting for such transactions and of other aspects of accounting for associates and joint ventures.

    4. Seasonality of Operations The Company’s sales are subject to seasonality. Sales are generally higher in the hot, dry months from March through June and lower during the wetter monsoon months of July through October. While these factors lead to a natural seasonality on the Company’s sales, unseasonable weather could also significantly affect sales and profitability compared to previous comparable periods. Higher sales are likewise experienced around the Christmas/New Year holiday period in late December through early January. Consequently, the Company’s operating results may fluctuate. In addition, the Company’s results may be affected by unforeseen circumstances, such as production interruptions. Due to these fluctuations, comparisons of sales and operating results between periods within a single year, or between different periods in different financial years, are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied on as indicators of the Company’s performance.

    11. Financial Risk Management Overview The Company has exposure to the following risks from its use of financial instruments:

    Credit Risk Liquidity Risk Market Risk

    This note presents information about the Company’s exposure to each of the above risks, the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risks, and the Company’s management of capital. The main purpose of the Company’s dealings in financial instruments is to fund its operations and capital expenditures. Risk Management Framework The BOD has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk management framework. The Company’s BOD has established the Executive Committee (EXCOM), which is responsible for developing and monitoring the Company’s risk management policies. The EXCOM identifies all issues affecting the operations of the Company and reports regularly to the BOD on its activities. The Company’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company’s activities. The Company, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations. The Company has an Audit Committee, which performs oversight over financial management and internal control, specifically in the areas of managing credit, liquidity, market and other risks of the Company. The Company’s Audit Committee is assisted in the oversight role by the Internal Audit (IA). The Company’s IA undertakes both regular and ad hoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the Audit Committee.

    There were no changes in the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for managing the risk and the methods used to measure the risk from previous year.

    Credit Risk Credit risk represents the risk of loss the Company would incur if credit customers and counterparties fail to perform their contractual obligations. The Company’s credit risk arises principally from the Company’s cash in banks, receivables and due from related parties. Exposure to Credit Risk The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk is as follows: March 31, 2018 December 31, 2017 (Unaudited) (Audited)

    Cash in banks P148,686 P151,228 Receivables - net 2,174,940 2,404,681 Due from related parties 576,145 580,174

    Total credit exposure P2,899,771 P3,136,083

    The credit limit and status of each customer’s account are first checked before processing a credit transaction. Customers that fail to meet the Company’s conditions in the credit checking process may transact with the Company only on cash basis.

    Most of the Company’s customers have been transacting with the Company for several years, and losses have occurred from time to time. Customer credit risks are monitored through annual credit reviews conducted on a per plant basis. Results of credit reviews are grouped and summarized according to credit characteristics, such as geographic location, aging profile and credit violations. Historically, credit violations have been attributable to bounced checks, and denied, fictitious or absconded credit accounts. It is the Company’s policy to enter into transactions with a diversity of creditworthy parties to mitigate any significant concentration of credit risk.

  • - 17 -

    The Plant Credit Committees have established a credit policy under which each new customer is analyzed individually for creditworthiness before standard credit terms and conditions are granted. The Company’s review includes the requirements of updated credit application documents, credit verifications through confirmation that there are no credit violations and that the account is not included in the negative list, and analyses of financial performance to ensure credit capacity. Credit limits are established for each customer, which serve as the maximum open amount at which they are allowed to purchase on credit, provided that credit terms and conditions are observed.

    Collateral securities are required for credit limit applications that exceed certain thresholds. The Company has policies for acceptable collateral securities that may be presented upon submission of credit applications. As at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the aging analysis per class of financial assets that were past due but not impaired is as follows: March 31, 2018

    The Company believes that the unimpaired amounts that are past due by more than 30 days are still collectible, based on historic payment behavior and extensive analysis of customer credit risk. In addition, the Company believes that the amounts of financial assets that are neither past due nor impaired are collectible, based on historic payment behavior and extensive analysis of counterparties credit risk. The credit qualities of financial assets that were neither past due nor impaired are determined as follows: Cash in banks are based on the credit standing or rating of the counterparty. Total receivables and due from related parties are based on a combination of

    credit standing or rating of the counterparty, historical experience and specific and collective credit risk assessment.

    High grade cash in banks are deposited in local banks that are considered as top tier banks in the Philippines in terms of resources and profitability. Receivables and due from related parties are considered to be of high grade quality financial assets, where the counter parties have a very remote likelihood of default and have consistently exhibited good paying habits. High grade quality financial assets are those assessed as having minimal credit risk, otherwise they are of standard grade quality. Standard grade quality financial assets are those assessed as having minimal to regular instances of payment default due to ordinary/common collection issues. These accounts are typically not impaired as the counterparties generally respond to credit actions and update their payments accordingly.

    Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting financial obligations as they fall due. The Company manages liquidity risk by forecasting projected cash flows and maintaining a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility in operations. Treasury controls and procedures are in place to ensure that sufficient cash is maintained to cover daily operational and working capital requirements, as well as capital expenditures and debt service payments. Management closely monitors the Company’s future and contingent obligations and sets up required cash reserves as necessary in accordance with internal requirements.

    In addition, the Company has the following credit facilities:

    The total commitment as at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 under the line of credit is P16.4 billion and P13.1 billion, of which the Company had drawn P6.3 billion and P5.0 billion, respectively, under letters of credit short-term loans and long term loans. All facilities under the omnibus line bear interest at floating rates consisting of a margin over current Philippine treasury rates except for the long term loan which have a fixed interest rate; and

  • - 19 -

    P1.5 billion domestic bills purchased line, which are available as at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

    The Company entered into loan agreements with various banks to partially finance the Company’s capital expenditure for its carbonated and non-carbonated beverage business. The loan agreement also provides certain covenants, the more significant of which are as follows:

    Maintain a current ratio of 0.40:1

    Maintain a debt to equity ratio of not greater than 2:1

    Maintain a debt service coverage ratio of 1:1

    The Company shall not declare or pay any cash dividends or redeem or repurchase any outstanding share or make any capital or asset distribution to its stockholders without prior written consent of the lender.

    Financial Assets Used for Managing Liquidity Risk The Company considers expected cash flows from financials assets in assessing and managing liquidity risk. To manage its liquidity risk, the Company forecasts cash flows from operations for the next six months which will result in additional available cash resources and enable the Company to meet its expected cash flows requirements. Market Risk Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as commodity prices, foreign exchange rates, interest rates and other market prices will affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return. The Company is subject to various market risks, including risks from changes in commodity prices, interest rates and currency exchange rates. Exposure to Commodity Prices The risk from commodity price changes relates to the Company’s ability to recover higher product costs through price increases to customers, which may be limited due to the competitive pricing environment that exists in the Philippine beverage market and the willingness of consumers to purchase the same volume of beverages at higher prices. The Company is exposed to changes in Philippine sugar prices. The Company minimizes its exposure to risks in changes in commodity prices by entering into contracts with suppliers with duration ranging from six months to one year; with fixed volume commitment for the contract duration; and with stipulation for price adjustments depending on market prices. The Company has outstanding purchase commitment amounting to P10.8 billion and P9.2 billion as at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Because of these purchase commitments, the Company considers the exposure to commodity price risk to be insignificant.

    Exposure to Interest Rate Risk The Company’s exposure to interest rates pertains to its cash in banks, short-term, long-term debt and finance lease obligation. These financial instruments bear fixed interest rates and accordingly, the Company is not significantly exposed to interest rate risk. Foreign Currency Risk The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk on purchases that are denominated in currencies other than the Philippine peso, mostly in United States (U.S.) dollar. In respect of monetary assets and liabilities held in currencies other than the Philippine peso, the Company ensures that its exposure is kept to an acceptable level, by buying foreign currencies at spot rates where necessary to address short-term imbalances. The Company considered the exposure to foreign currency risk to be insignificant. Further, the Company does not hold any investment in foreign securities as at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017. Offsetting The following table sets out the carrying amounts of due from related parties that are presented net of due to related parties in the condensed interim statements of financial position as at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 is as follows:

    March 31, 2018 Gross

    December 31, 2017 Gross Amount Amount Offset Net Amount

    Due from related parties P773,436 (P193,262) P580,174

    Fair Values The fair values of the financial assets and liabilities approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments and interest rates that they carry approximate interest rates for comparable instruments in the market. The fair value of finance lease liability is estimated at the present value of all future cash flows discounted using the market rate at the reporting date. The discount rate used in the present value of the minimum lease payment is the interest rate implicit in the lease. The reduction on the finance lease liability is recognized using the effective interest method. The fair value of long-term debt is estimated at the present value of all future cash flows discounted using the market rate at the reporting date.

    Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Results of Operations PCPPI has delivered Gross Sales for the First Quarter of 2018 of P8.2 billion in line with prior year while delivering Gross Profit of P1.1 billion. This has been achieved even with the volume softening due to the implementation of the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion (TRAIN) Law on January 1, 2018. Efficiencies in Operating Expenses has led to a 5% decline in expenses even while inflation rate accelerated to 3.8% for the First Quarter 2018. This partially tempered the impact of the volume deleverage and higher cost of goods as the company posted a net loss of P140 million for the quarter. Financial Condition The Company’s financial condition remained solid. Cash flows from operating activities were used to fund capital expenditures needs and payoff a portion of the Company’s bank debt. Consequently, our bank debt increased by P1.4billion in comparison with December 31, 2017 balance. Causes for Material Changes (+/-5% or more) 1. Increase in total current assets by 6% due to increases in inventories by 600 million

    and prepaid expenses and other current assets by P92 million, and decreases in cash by P58 million, net receivable by P230 million, and due from related parties by P4 million.

    2. Decrease in total current liabilities by 21% due to decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses by P534 million and in short-term debt by P1.95 billion, and an increase in income tax payable by P21 million.

    3. Increase in total noncurrent liabilities by 116% due to the increase in long term debt –

    net of current portion by P3.35 billion, and increases in other noncurrent liabilities by P1 million.
